English Teacher in Astana
About this position
English, Italian, and French teachers are needed at Kazakhstan International Linguistic College (KILC) in Astana, Kazakhstan.
This is a unique teaching opportunity and a strong CV booster, especially for those who want to progress in the ESL, English as a Foreign Language (EFL), and/or linguistics fields. It is also a great opportunity to explore Central Asia.
This is our tenth year at Kazakhstan International Linguistic College (KILC), a college that provides full-time education in English for school children from Year 9 to Year 12. Our college follows the English model, rather than the American one, so the age group more closely mirrors an American high school rather than an American college. At the time of writing, there are over 1,000 students studying at KILC, and we are working hard to increase that number. We are now looking for English teachers.
